If you head south toward Milwaukee or west toward central Wisconsin, the storm is expected to be a bit calmer.

The National Weather Service in Milwaukee said in a special weather statement Friday morning that steady light snow will interfere with the morning commute. A wet slushy snow of 1 to 3 inches is expected in the Milwaukee area.

The heaviest of the snow is expected to taper off late this morning around most of the state, the weather service said.
